George Leverly of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Baltimore, Maryland.

Currently, very little information is published about George Levely. He is said to have been born about 1749 and died in 1796. He first worked in Philadelphia. It appears that he was there in 1770 through about 1774 when he relocated to Baltimore, Maryland. In Baltimore, he advertises that he was a watch and clockmaker from the city of Philadelphia that he relocated his shop opposite the Fountain Inn on Market Street. This Inn was located on what is now the corners of Baltimore and Hanover Streets. The Federal Gazette (Baltimore) reports on 30 April 1796 that George Levely Watchmaker of Baltimore dies on April 29, 1796 at the age of 47.
